Three things, which is all basically dependent separately, but can be all under the TO's "control"
1) Set-ups - Obviously if there's not enough set-ups, there is going to be delays. Best cast scenario, have one for every match up from the get go (if 32 man bracket, 16 set-ups, if 64 man bracket, 32 set-ups, etc). That enables you to start the biggest thing off the bat, or Brawl since it WILL take the longest, then start the next division two or three hours down the road (depends on time availability and etc).
2) Timed DQs - This one I do try to be lenient on depending on size and time flow. But in usual cases, it just needs to happen. I would have personally demanded a DQ for those people that took 3 hours to get back to their match. I had to do two DQs my last tournament because of time reasons, one pair not cool with it (though it was their fault for not starting when I told them to), and another was acceptable of it.
3) Communication to TO - Honestly, this helps in judging when or when not to do the #2 thing. It is completely upsetting when people don't report their matches to me AS SOON as they're done, or when they take it upon themselves to just start the next opponent in their line of fights. The TO is there for a reason, respect them and their position. Nothing is more frustrating when things are mix-matched simply because people want to do "their" thing. Order in the venue people!
Those are probably the biggest thing to have happen. I honestly feel as if the time it took me to run through both Melee and PM Singles took less time COMBINED than it took Brawl Singles, and the former two had MORE competitors. Brawl is a huge time consumer, and should always be done first if doing multiple brackets. From the sounds of it, the crew running this tournament just decided "LETS DO TOURNEY LULZ" without really planning ahead for it. Granted, plans can be shattered day of (had a lot more people bringing set-ups in the middle of everything than I thought, which ties back to communication), but you can always have a back up plan. I remember once being told you can't plan specific times for multiple events to start since you don't know how many people will show up. I had to restrain laughing there at the ineptitude to plan for the possibility, as they just wrote it off as an unknown.
TL:DR version - Tournaments can go smoothly if there's a good amount of planning and a good amount of respect/communication between the TO and the competitors. Lack of either will throw things into utter chaos.

Seriously though, that was pretty impolite making greninja look like mewtwo for a second.
Pretty pumped for editable movesets though.

I'm really glad there's no more transformation characters. No one uses both and now they get down specials. Also, RIP Sheik's chain.

There's no way editable movesets are going to be viable for tourney play. Not only because of the possibilities of brokenness and everything around that, but imagine how long that would take every time you want to play a different character. Custom controls are a big enough hassle as it is.

Thoughts on the direct?
I think it's going to be the best smash bros yet.
Competitively though... I think it's going to be great but not as good as melee.

Well... it's not going to be implemented into online competitive play so I don't think they expect custom movesets to be competitive... just for fun.

Greninja is now growing on me. I just can't wait for the volkswagon beetle pokemon to "Bug into Battle!"
Or even better: Volkymon Bugs the Battle!

When has competitive play ever been dictated by Sakurai's intentions? Its possible it'll be broken but I'm imagining a set up where there are only 1 or 2 pre-existing variations for any given special (the example being mario's fireball shown). It could be like another level of counterpicking.

I bet you could save certain character cutomizations into the controller that way it won't take a lot of time
It still won't be allowed. Its already hard to learn 40 matchups, now having to learn matchups plus variants of those matchups would be impossible.
FD only for glory mode sounds stupid, FD isn't even the most neutral stage in smash, Battlefield and a couple others are the true neutral stage. Sakurai said I know some of you only played on FD...what the **** is he talking about.
Also this game has like no hit stun if any of you were paying attention
But Sheik is back and now I have grenades so none of this matters

i can definitely see altering specials for matchups being legal and sort of like selecting ultras/assists in sf/marvel
what i see more than anything is this game sucking ass and having 0 competitive viability, more than anything else, i can't understand why everybody seems so hype when disappointment is in the future but i'm not gunna **** on ur guys' parade
i couldn't fathom a brawl community but it happened anyway so i guess i'm foolish for writing this game off before ever playing it but w/e
i don't trust sakurai at all

lol, Sakurai must've stopped paying attention to the scene after our "no items, fox only, final destination" phase
why would so many match ups be problematic? isn't that the same as marvel vs capcom? Pretty sure there's specifically a bajillion matchups in that game due to character selection x3 and assist variations

expressing concern that smash4 will suck = ******** because it isn't melee? got it
is there anywhere I can go where people don't think that appreciating good games is having a fetish for melee?
edit-like gj dude all you did was piss me and probably a few others off. you got a problem? say it tastefully and constructively. all you did was make me like you less and show me you actually have no understanding for what my actual qualms with smash4 are
whatever
